Patient's question:
I would like to ask, my brother has been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, he is 29 years old now, can it be cured? The disease started when he was 20. After reviewing his past treatment history and effectiveness: Is it hereditary in the third generation? What kind of help do you care about: Can it be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from this ankylosing spondylitis is generally difficult to cure completely. The goal of treatment is based on controlling inflammation, reducing and relieving symptoms, maintaining normal posture and optimal functional position, and preventing deformities. To achieve these objectives, early diagnosis and early treatment of joints are essential. Comprehensive evaluation measures should be adopted for treatment, including educating patients and their families, physical therapy, occupational therapy, medication, and surgical treatment. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
